Hello, my wonderful friends and family, and a very happy Friday to you all!

The following message and question have been inspired by an experience
that I had last week... May you find it as useful and freeing as I have.

So...
Last Thursday morning I set an intention to be more loving. Oh boy. All
it took was making that a serious intention and (BAM!!), three hours
later a "sacred friend" showed me exactly where I, myself, was being the
least loving...

Don't get me wrong. It FELT ugly and painful and like this person was
being deliberately obnoxious and hateful. And it felt like she was doing
it TO me.

However, I believe that because I had set that intention that morning, I
was subconsciously (or maybe "super-consciously") willing to see her
behavior as a 100% accurate reflection of a sub-conscious program from
which a lot of my behavior has been expressed throughout my life, but
which I had NEVER recognized as my own. Wow.

It
was an ugly-feeling circumstance, but because I am who I am and I've
been doing this inner work for so long - and because I've been so IN the
Successfully MidAir material lately, I knew exactly what to do. And
what was that? In this experience of feeling powerless, which was how
her behavior was making me feel, it was the application of Tool #5 -
P.O.W.E.R.

Again, don't get me wrong. As it says in the description of Successfully MidAir: "These tools are meant to be used in the moment,
not to change your circumstances (or another person's behavior) -
because that is not possible - but to change who you ARE in those
circumstances, which cannot help but to change things for you!" I knew
that my work was not to get my friend to knock it off. No. My work was
to be responsible for my own feeling of powerlessness in that situation.
Whooooeeeeee! It did take some deliberate work, but I did it because I
knew there was a big Gift in this for me.

Thirty minutes in, I had one of the biggest ah-ha's about myself that
I've ever had in my life. And I am changed because of it. That
particular button has been short-circuited. In my willingness to SEE it
for what it really was, I broke it. [Please make a note of it: She was NOT the problem. She was the reflection of the problem, which was something in me.]
And now, I feel so empowered to know that that button may still get
pushed from time to time, but now I know it's there, and it will NEVER
be the source of my behavior for any length of time again.

So here's the question: Do you have a person or a circumstance in your
life that "pushes your buttons?" Well, guess what. The way that makes
you feel is about YOU. It is NOT them! Those are YOUR buttons, and you
can deactivate them any time you choose to. But first you have to
recognize them as yours. As long as your attention is on blaming "them"
for pushing your buttons, you are powerless to do anything about
breaking - or deactivating - your buttons. And until you do that, you
will always feel yourself to be "at their mercy," and powerless in your
own life.

In reality, though, you are not at THEIR mercy. You are at your own.

So:

This week I choose to remember that my work is to deactivate my own buttons. It
is NOT my work to stop others from pushing them! One of the most
empowering things I've ever done for myself is to know that I own my own
buttons, and that I can break them at will. And this week I will deliberately use Successfully MidAir Tool #5 to do so!

:-) Join me if you dare!

Love
Sandi

SUCCESSFULLY MIDAIR:
How to navigate your leap of faith and land in the life you want!

Change happens, whether we want it to or not. How we experience that change is completely up to us.

Successfully MidAir provides ten real and specific tools that can be
practically applied right in the moment to relieve stress, ease
frustration, and deliberately have fun in the midst of whatever is going
on in your life! So, rather than your "midair" experience feeling
turbulent, or frustrating, or even painful to you, you can choose to
take advantage of those things to deliberately and powerfully create an
amazing, joyful ride... right into the life you want!

Whether your struggle is in your relationships with other people (or
yourself), or in your circumstances, these tools can help you to:

Open the way for things to shift dramatically, right where you stand.

Know what to do right in the moment to deliberately change whatever it is you are experiencing.

Recognize - and neutralize - three "monsters" that we all deal with in midair AND in our everyday life.

Understand exactly what the "problem" is, and watch as solutions seem to magically "just appear" for you.

Do
you want to feel powerful - or empowered - in your life? Tool #5 helps
you understand what P.O.W.E.R. really is, and how to live a genuinely
empowered experience.

Choosing
faith over fear is the way to go every time. Tool #6 helps you to stand
anchored in faith so that fear can never knock you off balance for any
length of time.

Literally change things by changing the story that you tell about those things.

INSTANTLY relieve stress and bring yourself to a place of clarity and feeling really, really good!

Let go of whatever it is you're hanging onto so that you can reach forward, trusting completely that all is as it should be.

Ask
yourself the most important question ever... Just the asking of the
question changes how you feel about - and experience - whatever is going
on.

Every one of these tools is meant to be used in the moment, not to
change your circumstances - because that is not possible - but to change
who you ARE in those circumstances, which cannot help but to change
things for you! Even if you just pick one to use consistently, I promise
that your life will never be the same! If you want to feel more
empowered and more in control of your life than ever before - without
making yourself crazy with stress - then Successfully MidAir is a GREAT
book for you!
